How to Make Apple Galette
- Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in egg yolk and ice water until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
- While the dough chills, prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples into 8 wedges each.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the apple wedges and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges are lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in brown sugar and nutmeg. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the apples are softened slightly but still hold their shape.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Pour the apple mixture into the center of the pastry, mounding the apples slightly.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the apples, pleating as you go, leaving a 4-inch opening in the center.
- Brush the pastry with beaten egg.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
